Another calm, sunny and surprisingly warm day on Bardsey Island. Perhaps the highlight of the day came in the evening with a Siberian Chiffchaff at Ty Pellaf. Other highlights included a Stock Dove in the Wetlands, two Tree Pipits over Cristin along with a Grasshopper Warbler. Nine Blackcaps and a Sedge Warbler were the highlights of a quieter ringing session at Cristin.

The afternoon was spent around the East Side of the Island monitoring Choughs and doing the first count of nesting seabirds.
